Vegetable Poha
Ingredients
- 1 cup red or brown rice poha
- 1 cup grated vegetables or diced and steamed vegetables
- 1 tsp mustard (rai) seeds
- Chopped green chillies to taste
- Ginger paste to taste (optional)
- Unrefined salt to taste
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder (optional)
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- 1 tbsp grated coconut (optional), to garnish
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped coriander leaves, to garnish
Method
Take the poha in a large colander and rinse it well. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes, until the grains become thicker. Meanwhile, place a pan on a stove on low heat and add mustard seeds. Once they begin to pop, add the green chillies, ginger and vegetables. Add salt and turmeric powder (if using). Sprinkle some water if it is too dry. After about three or four minutes, add the soaked poha and toss it around until it is fully coated with the turmeric. Stir the peanuts in and take the pan off the heat. Garnish with grated coconut and coriander and serve.
